MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 100 Community Boulevard Wheeling, IL 60090 847-465-3333

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Jan Buchs jbuchs@wheelingparkdistrict.com DEPUTY DIRECTOR Matt Wehby mwehby@wheelingparkdistrict.com DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Amy Rivas arivas@wheelingparkdistrict.com SUPERINTENDENT OF PLANNING Larry Raffel lraffel@wheelingparkdistrict.com

Just like the season, this edition of the Fall Program and Events Guide is all about color. We’ve added lots of it to every page and changed the design to create a fresh, clean look. To make it easier for you to locate the programs and events that interest you, all information has been organized into color-coded sections (Special Events, Athletics, Aquatic, Before & After School Care, Birthday Parties, Fine & Performing Arts, Fitness, Golf, Preschool, Senior Services and Parks & Facilities). Take a look at the Content listing on page one and you’ll see what I mean. Notice that each of the program areas are designated by a specific color. Each page layout reflects a continuity that is, not only attractive, but user-friendly and highly readable in order to better communicate all the Wheeling Park District has to offer you.

Peruse these pages and discover lots for you and your family to enjoy throughout the fall months. Join us for our free special events including International Festival, Fallapalooza, Oktoberfest and Boonanza. See page 6 for all the details. We’re still celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Family Aquatic Center, too. Page 17 lists all of the August activities. Our many parks are a great place to enjoy the fall colors. In fact, the parks are the ideal spot to “unplug” from all the interference in our lives and simply engage with nature. For some suggestions, please check out page 52.

SUPERINTENDENT OF FINANCE Jill Nobbe jnobbe@wheelingparkdistrict.com

a very exciting time for the Wheeling Park District community. While this project will

This is be lengthy and result in some adjustments during construction, the end result will be a 21st century facility to better serve our residents and guests now and into the future.

PARENT/TOT SWIM LESSONS 6–36 months

Toddlers 6–36 months of age are introduced to the aquatic environment through songs and games with the focus on water acclimation.

Parents need to hold their child in the water throughout class. Swim diapers are required for all children who are not toilet trained.

ADULT SWIM LESSONS 16 years & older

Learn to swim with other adults in a relaxed atmosphere that allows you to focus on the fundamentals of swimming to improve your skills. Lessons are personalized to meet your needs.

PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS Private: $ 20/lesson in-district $23/lesson out-of-district

Semi-private: $16/lesson in-district $19/lesson out-of-district All ages are welcome to participate in these individualized, half-hour lessons. Please call 847-465-3333 or stop by the CRC Guest Service Desk for available days and times.

Lessons are subject to instructor availability and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register at the CRC Guest Service Desk.

New Students

are encouraged to be tested to ensure placement in the correct level. Please come during Open Swim hours for an evaluation. Instructors reserve the right to place participants in the levels best suited to their abilities.

SWIM SCHOOL INFORMATION Lessons focus on four to five primary skills along with three to four secondary skills that help build endurance and technique.

Children do not always complete all required skills in one session.

(It is not uncommon for a child’s ability level to fluctuate based on attendance and repetitions in a level.)

Find the level that is right for you

Choose the day and time that works 2 with your schedule Register online or at the CRC Guest 3 Service Desk 4

Keep Swimming

Please be patient. Water acclimation is a longer process for some children. Everyone learns at a different pace. Staff make a reasonable effort to encourage children to get in the water but children must enter the water willingly.

Please be on time for class.

If class is missed, a make-up lesson is not always guaranteed (based on space availability in other days) Ratio of students is 4:1 (Levels 1–2), 6:1 (Levels 3–4); 8:1 (Levels 5–6).

Instructors work very hard to give students equal attention.

The assistance of swim goggles, ear plugs, and swim caps (hair up and out of face) enhance the learning experience. Goggles are strongly recommended for children in Preschool Level 2 and higher and are required for Levels 3–6. Goggles are not permitted in Preschool Level 1.

games, storytelling, cooking, movement, and songs, children develop self-control, physical coordination, and social skills.

Environmental Initiatives The Wheeling Park District Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted the Park District Environmental Action Plan. As a public agency dedicated to parks, recreation, and open space, the Park District is in a unique position to take a leadership role across a wide spectrum of environmental practices to help ensure their communities have the tools to learn sustainability and be sustainable. Through policies, plans, and actions, Wheeling Park District leads by example. This plan provides an important overview of best environmental management practices that can be beneficial to residents and the community, now and in the future.

The Environmental Policy and Environmental Action Plan provide the important direction, while the District’s 2018-2021 Strategic Plan outlines the initiatives and goals. Together, with tools available through industry leaders such as the Illinois Parks & Recreation Association, National Recreation and Park Association, and American Association of Landscape Architects, the Park District’s plan takes a systematic approach, analyzing current practices, providing recommendations, and a strategy for achievement. The Environmental Action Plan is a valuable resource for the Board of Commissioners and staff for making sound environmental management decisions to achieve the goal of fostering an environmentally conscious staff and community.

PARKS & FACILITIES Your local neighborhood parks are the perfect places to engage with family, friends and neighbors and experience the benefits of parks and recreation – all while having fun!

This fall, we challenge you to “unplug” at your local park. Take a walk on one of the many walking trails, play with your children at the playground or simply relax as you enjoy the beautiful scenery.

For park locations and amenities, see pages 54-55.

LIGHTNING PREDICTION & WARNING SYSTEMS

By measuring the amount of electrical charge in the atmosphere, Thorguard Warning System predicts with a high degree of certainty the probability of a lightning strike within a covered area.

This system warns guests and staff with a horn and strobe system when a lightning strike hazard is present. Areas served by Thorguard include Heritage Park, Family Aquatic Center, CRC and all adjacent areas and neighborhoods. The system is intended to warn guests and staff of probable lightning hazards in the area so lightning-related injuries and deaths can be avoided. Since Thorguard is a lightning prediction system, it is possible for the warning system to be activated even when weather conditions do not seem to indicate lightning is present. Be assured that these warnings are accurate and must be followed to ensure personal safety.

Two distinct signals sent out by Thorguard: RED ALERT External warning horns blare for 15 seconds and strobe lights begin to blink. This signifies a lightning hazard in the area. All outdoor recreation activity should be suspended and guests and staff should seek appropriate shelter, preferably indoors. ALL CLEAR External warning horns give three consecutive blasts lasting 3-5 seconds each. This means the lightning hazard has left the area and it is safe to resume normal activities. Chevy Chase is protected under the WeatherBug lightning detection system.

LOUD MUSIC & ALCOHOL

Loud music and outside alcohol are not permitted on any Park District property.

PETS

Pets must be on a leash length of six feet or less, including extendable leashes, at all times.

LOCKER ROOMS

The locker room is an amenity available for use by all CRC participants. The purpose is for storage of personal belongings while using the facility. Each participant needs to furnish his/her own lock. Overnight storage is NOT permitted. The Wheeling Park District is not responsible for lost and/or stolen property. Please do not store valuables in lockers. Wallet lockers are available in the Arctic Splash, gymnasium, and Fitness Center.

RAINOUT LINE

The Rainout Line helps keep you up-to-date on programs and events when adverse weather is forecast. This service lets you choose how you want to be notified.

VANDALISM

The Wheeling Park District has experienced a tremendous amount of vandalism. This vandalism in our community has included acts of arson, destruction of playground equipment and landscaping materials, destruction of bathroom fixtures, stolen materials and graffiti. Vandalism affects residents and other guests when bathrooms are closed, playground equipment is under repair and amenities are not available for use. Vandalism is costly to repair and results in higher insurance costs. In order to ensure the safest parks and facilities possible, we need your help. We ask that when you see or hear about vandalism or something that may be unsafe, such as broken playground equipment, or anything else that you feel may be hazardous, please call 847-465-3333 or complete the online Report a Problem form under the Parks and Facilities tab.

NO SMOKING

Smoking is prohibited in all wooded areas on Park District property and within 100 feet of any point of a soccer, baseball and football field, any outdoor court and all Park District buildings.

REWARD PROGRAM

Help the Wheeling Park District stop vandalism in your neighborhood park.

Call us with information about the person or persons who vandalize any Wheeling Park District property. This would include the destruction of any property such as vehicles, playground equipment or landscape materials, the theft of any equipment or materials, any act of arson, and any act of graffiti. If your information leads to arrest, case resolution and/or restitution, you will be given a reward from $500 to $5000. Your name will be kept confidential.
